I don't think Kipling should need any introduction--if otherwise with you, look in Wikipedia, please.
This particular book is one of his usually tagged "young adult" (like Kim, Jungle Books, Puck)-- in my opinion an "all ages" adventure about ships and fishermen.
No epub edition on this Forum: this one from updated PG texts, with fairly good illustration from the Internet Archive--apparently belonging to the first hard-cover edition--and cover made by me to reproduce same.
Note at the very end of book on why the text cannot be considered final-- although I think it fairly clean, considering.
